I have been looking forward to build this as I previously restored a Stratocaster and found it quite enjoyable.
However I have run into a problem, setting the bridge in the correct position.
My kit has a scale length of 648mm and I have positioned the saddles in the middle of their adjustment range and lined it up with this length. In spite of this I find that the pick guard will not fit and I will have to make the bridge pickup cavity bigger as seen in the photo below. Have I done the right thing or should the bridge sit differently?
